Ordinarily, I'd refrain from comment on a topic such as this. But I
think it's pretty unrealistic to consider any project, especially one
of Pivot's magnitude, to be practically fostered without any kind of
"leader". I don't claim authority, and I don't think that my vote
counts any more than anyone else's. However, I don't think *any*
project is likely to be successful without some kind of vision behind
it, and, from my experience, that's typically driven by a handful of
individuals. Yes, there are lots of other contributors without whom a
project would not be successful. But to say that there is no such
concept as a "leading developer" is a fallacy.
If that's an idea that's too foreign to the ASF, then perhaps Pivot
doesn't belong here.

Yes i know that the Jira issue tracker is misleading, as it has
an incorrect label on its interface: "Project Lead"
https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/BrowseProjects.jspa
Some projects get around that by referring to "Xxx Developers".
However today i am not really concerned about Jira. It is the
use of the term in board reports and such, that indicates an issue.
